I'm actually American, I moved to the UK after we got married.

As for how we got together . . . this was before Facebook was even launched, let alone open to the public. It was all the way back in the dark age where people used chat programmes (I think we started on MSN Messenger, LOL forever). After we'd had a few conversations on the Board, I added hS to my contacts. And we talked A LOT. At one point I had literally thousands and thousands and thousands of pages in my transcripts file.

We didn't actually meet until a few years later; he visited me in the US after I turned eighteen. And then we got married a few months after that. And then a few months after that I made the leap over the pond. And now here we are -- old, married and boring. Let this stand as a warning to all. ;)

Iximaz, my parents did flip out. It's entirely possible that they're still gently rotating through the air, in fact. Bless them.

(Uh, I should probably put a responsible-adult disclaimer for any teenagers reading: always be careful who you meet from the internet, do your best to weed out any axe-murderering truck drivers, take your parents along. Not everyone is who they claim to be, and even if they're telling the truth they might not be safe people. There has definitely been at least one predator on the PPC. He's not been a PPCer for years, but he did lasting harm to quite a few girls before he left.

There we go, that was my stab at responsible adulthood for the day. Didn't like the taste of that at all)
